How Do I Adjust Ionic's Display Brightness?

[MarkyT288]

Can someone please tell me how to increase the brightness on my ionic I can hardly see it during the daytime, it was fine but seems to have adjusted itself. Many thanks. Mark

Two things regarding brightness.  For some reason, my ionic is now set to 'dim' though I never made this adjustment.  Nothing happens when I navigate to 'Brightness' in settings and tap on it.  This setting is dim while the other settings are not.  How do I change my Brightness back to a more normal setting.

As you know
I said before on the ionic facing you with one button on the left , now push this button
Flip down the screen from the top if you have set up it will say nothing here the date and % battery if you having set up notification from your phone etc , and three symbols at the top if none there flip the screen down again
click on the right hand symbol looks like two sliding bars
This will say quick settings And will show 4 symbols
Top two

A minus in a circle Which is Do not Disturb on/off sleep mode
F
and a moon a sleep mode setting
Lower two
a sun Is the brightness setting for the screen but tapping it you can change
The brightness of the screen NORMAL DIM AUTO OR MAX
mine is set to normal
a watch This is to activate watch by button on the left or every time you move you arm
All these 4 symbols alter by touch
It’s up to you what setting you want
Hope this helps

look up the Internet of how to reset it 

Restart Ionic
To restart your watch, press and hold the back and bottom buttons for a few seconds until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen.

I went to settings, tapped on brightness and no choices were available.  Simply said "brightness"> 

[Shoshe]

Thank you, not sure how mine got in Sleep mode, but I made sure that was shut off and now my brightness is back the way it should be.

YOU my sir are a life saver

[Julian70]

Not sure about that....think mine was changed by a 2yr old. Beware small children

Thank you Roadrunner

Glad I could help as for the Sir I am a mature lady , and when I had my Fitbit I went on a discovery mission check every aspect of it pushing buttons flipping screens and that is how I discovered things, the only thing in the beginning was why my messages and emails were not connecting with it, but that happened automatically after I set it up on my app on my phone  a few days later. I am so surprised how many people have contacted me and found my postings most helpful

Make sure you are not on sleep mode with the quick settings

Sleep mode not functioning.  Won’t slide to right on clock face 

[Tishyanne]

I don not understand sleep mode  not sliding

when you access quick settings

 you get 4 symbols 

they are altered by tapping 

them  

looking at the face on screen flip down the screen from the top

if you see % battery and the date flip down from the top again

you should see 3 symbols it’s the sliding bars symbol on the right you tap this opens up the quick settings 

by tapping each one you can see how they can alter 

the moon is sleep mode by tapping it 

what comes up is on or off mine is set to off 

This symbols alter by tapping not sliding 

[Julian70]

Just tapping sleep mode to turn it off freed up  the brightness control for me

Thank you. That helped a lot! Why does it have to be hidden? 

[HumBumHank]

That is a very good question! 

[JRHK]

How can I adjust the brightness on the watch when it is so dark, I can't see settings to do so. 

Very frustrating.

Is it possible to adjust the brightness on the app?  Have investigated this but doesn't seem to be an option.

[Julian70]

It will be on night time setting if it's stuck on dim lighting. Turn off night setting and u can vary brightness

Mine started off very dark but I managed

holding the watch towards you 

press the single button on the left this activate the front 

flip down from the top if it shows % battery and date flip down again

you want it to show a music note a file and sliding bars 

you need to tap on the sliding bars 

this will show quick settings 4 in total two at the top two at the bottom

tap the sun one bottom left until the writing says normal 

the others top right is do not disturb make sure that is off if the sun setting does not work

top right is the moon make sure this is off

bottom right is  the setting for two things activate the watch by button on the left or every time you move your arm I found the later annoying and uses more battery

i found my watch battery last seven days as my clock is a flower on the right with the time and date on the left And I am okay with that

From the device, navigate to Settings. The first option listed should be “Brightness”. You can tap that option to choose: Auto, Dim, Normal, or Max. 

I haven’t been able to find the setting through the app, so you would need to see the screen enough to get to settings.

It is repaired Thanks one and all
